About this listen

A Genestealer Cults Novel

The people of forge world Morod have found a new hope against despair and toil. The long-awaited angels are close, and the cult must prepare for their coming.

Listen to it because: acclaimed science-fiction author Adrian Tchaikovsky's first full-length work for Black Library takes the form of Day of Ascension, in which the populace of the forge world of Morod grow weary of the backbreaking work and injustice of their lives. But how far will they go to achieve change?

The story: on the forge world of Morod, the machines never stop and the work never ends. The population toils in the mines and factoria to protect humanity from the monsters in the void, while the Adeptus Mechanicus enjoy lives of palatial comfort.

Genetor Gammat Triskellian seeks to end this stagnant corruption. When he learns of a twisted congregation operating within the shadows, one that believes that the tech-priests are keeping people from their true salvation - a long-prophesied union with angels - he sees in them an opportunity to bring down Morod's masters and reclaim the world in the name of progress.

But sometimes, the only hope for real change lies in the coming of monsters.

Love the perspective of a tyranid cultists. The story wasn't complex or overly deep but it didn't need to be. It's great to have a book that shows how these infected humans develop their cult like following and how the hivemind connection between all tyranid life forms. The juicy irony of the grim dark existence of being an imperial citizen being so awful they turn to a fanatic worshipping of a race that will in the end devour them all.

I was thoroughly impressed by this book and would purchase a sequel without hesitation

Day of Ascension by Adrian Tchaikovsky is a captivating and well-crafted science fiction novel that kept me engaged from start to finish. The world-building is exceptional, transporting the reader to a unique and immersive universe that is both thrilling and thought-provoking. The characters are richly developed and relatable, each with their own motivations and flaws that make them feel like real people.

Tchaikovsky's writing is superb, striking a perfect balance between action and introspection, with vivid descriptions that bring the story to life. The pacing is just right, with twists and turns that keep the reader on their toes while still allowing for moments of reflection and emotional depth.

Overall, Day of Ascension is a fantastic read that I would highly recommend to anyone who loves science fiction, or just a great story. Tchaikovsky is a master storyteller, and I'm looking forward to more.

Very cool to have a unique look at the world through the eyes of a genestealer cultist. The narrator was excellent and I particularly enjoyed the urgency in his voice when action began to bubble.

Loved everything about it
